There are actually many times when you can't run the wire across.  The 
main time is when you have a laptop.
I haven't had to point anyone to this for a while, so I'm not positive 
it works still, and I don't have the binaries, but you can get the 
source from fedora-extra's at

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/SRPMS/xmms-cdread-0.14-4.a.src.rpm

Although ... I'm wondering if there already is a better way that I just 
can't remember at the moment.
